Good place right across from the airport

This hostel is super handy if you have an early flight. It is an old building but it is well maintained. The staff was friendly and kind all the times. We stayed during the winter and the night was extremely cold, the room felt as cold as sleeping outside, so be aware of that!

The hostel was in need of repairs and renovation eg the exterior 'YHA' sign was damaged. The over all atmosphere felt a bit depressing, staff were going through the motions. The location near the airport is poor but they do have a courtesy van.

Very close to the Gold Coast Airport. Useful tips for transferring to Brisbane: take Bus 760 to Varsity Lake train station.

YHA Coolandatta next to Gold Coast Airport is cleaner, friendlier, and better value for money. Wonderful stay that money can buy. Close to airport to catch the flight, with friendly and cooperative staff and a clean washroom and kitchen every time it is used, YHA - Kirra Beach is the best I ever stayed when compared to many others.

The hostel is near the airport but far away from city. But I need to catch a flight in the next day, so it is good location for me. I am so appeciate that the hostel offers free shuttle bus to town and beach and pick up rom those location as well.
The hostel offers $5 breakfast. It would be perfect if it offers free breakfast.

Customer Reviews on yha.com.au

YHA believes that you should be given a true picture of what other guests have to say about our hostels. That's why when you make a booking on yha.com.au, you will be invited by email to rate your hostel stay upon checkout. These ratings are then published, unedited, whether you give the hostel a good or bad review. Average ratings are calculated based on the last 50 customer submissions.

We review these ratings daily, and publish any comments, images and tips provided. We don't edit your comments and will publish them whether they are good or bad. However, there are a few instances where we will not publish the comments online:

Unsubstantiated or incorrect claims

Hostels will have the right to have negative comments removed if they can prove that claims are unsubstantiated or incorrect. YHA Australia will investigate the claim prior to publishing online. Examples where we have not published a comment for this reason are mostly due to guests mixing up different hostels they had booked.

Comments including staff names

Reviews that feature full staff names will not be published, whether in relation to a positive or negative comment. First names of staff will be published in positive comments only.

If a negative comment is made, all reference to a particular staff member will be removed.

Changed circumstances in hostels

If there have been any major changes such as hostel renovations, new management/owners, and we believe the previous ratings are no longer relevant, YHA will remove all submissions and the rating calculations will commence from zero.

Please note: YHA Australia will not enter into correspondence with the reviewer whether a comment is suitable or not.
